Has anyone else tried this app?
Im on tnt lite 4.4 and when I connect my gtab freezes.
I had the app working for a couple minutes at most.
Ive tried different browsers, but nothing, next I might try a different rom
and see if that works.
I have to try and use this app because I dont have root on my mobile yet.
Edit: i changed my rom to G harmony v2.4.
It connects but force closes on me, better then freezing up my tablet though.
Works for about five minutes, sometimes it doesnt want to connect at first either.
Edit: using cyanogenmod 7.0.3 this app works.
Currently connected to my mobile.
No freezing or force closes.
Here is the market description
This is a tablet version of the extremely popular PdaNet software. It allows you to share the Internet access of an Android device with another Android device through Bluetooth. You should install this application on both the tablet and the phone. Then run client mode on a tablet and server mode on a phone. No rooting required. Connection speed should be very fast if your phone has good data service. PdaNet works by setting the web proxy server on your tablet and route web requests to a Bluetooth DUN service. That means only applications that use web connections will work. On Honeycomb devices PdaNet supports Browser, Gmail and Map. For Android 2.2/2.3 devices PdaNet only supports the Browser app. We understand this solution is not ideal but it is really the only way to tether an Android tablet due to OS restrictions. This application is completely free and we hope it will be useful to you.

Tethered via WiFi is just one option but I think the whole point was to do it via Bluetooth.
I can't say for sure if BT has a better/stronger connection than WiFi, but it's something I've been yearning to find out.

I probably wouldn't use this if I could tether over wifi though.
This app is beta and on froyo and gingerbread you can only get internet on
Your browser app.
But it's free and I need to root my mobile.
I've been traveling and dont have a computer right now.
I saw it in the market on my Evo, but NOT on my Gtablet. How can I get it from my not rooted Evo to my rooted Viewsonic GTablet?
Can you backup your apps on your phone?
should be able to put it on your sdcard, then transfer it to your gtablet and install.
Just tried it, it pairs but does not connect via bluetooth. I'm rooted as well. From my understanding android had widespread issues connecting via bluetooth as a server/client to another android device.
Using an Apple or Windows based phone I have no issues.

Hi I have tried to get this pda net tablet to run on my gtab forever, it just wont connect to my unrooted dx runnining gingerbread. The best i can get is paired but no connection. I am running clemsyn kernel and cyanogen 7.1.0 rco.
Can anyone tell me how to get it running or suggest another program that will allow me to us my phones data plan that i am already paying for??
thanks in advance for any help !!
I don't suppose anyone knows if PDANet for iphone supports bluetooth? WIFI takes away WAYYYYY too much battery life.
Ridiculous that Google has taken 3 months (and counting) to issue a fix or even acknowledge publicly that there is a problem with Jellybean devices connecting to many WPA2 Enterprise Wireless networks. This is going to hurt them badly with folks at Universities and companies. I've already had to steer many folks away from the Nexus 7 because of this problem that Google refuses to fix (or as I said even acknowledge it exists). http://code.google.com/p/android/is...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=34212
Even the freakin' Kindle Fire which wasn't able to connect to WPA2 Enterprise Networks at launch was issued an update and was able to in a shorter time frame than it's taking Google to address this issue on our Nexus 7's (and all Jellybean devices).

I haven't been able to get on the 8021.x at work since moving to ICS on my phone, JB the same.. It tries, fails for no reason... At least on Gingerbread I could make it work, even if I had to use another app to configure it. ICS/JB seems to set it up properly from the get-go, but even if I tweak it to the exact same settings I had before, still doesn't work. Meh.
this issue is seriously driving me NUTS
If it's bothering you guys, click on the Star icon in that google link that was posted. That's how Google prioritizes bugs.
Still, unless it's something that's a security hole, they probably won't update until the next version.
There was a touchscreen bug in 2.1 in older devices that sucked up CPU time when you touched the screen so it effectively killed off use of the phone for most games. It wasn't fixed until 2.2 and a lot of phones were EOL'd at 2.1
Thank goodness for Cyanogen. If you want an update sooner, the custom rom way is the quickest...
We'll I'm runnin eos but its still wacked

There are many 8021x configurations, consider yourself lucky your particular setup works.

Did not help me or some others in the thread but worth trying if you haven't.
Anyone try this with the 4.1.2 OTA? I did, and no luck. It didn't automatically configure correctly, and once corrected, it still wouldn't connect. Maybe it helped some folks in some other way though, as there were specific wpa_supplicant fixes in the OTA.
I haven't been able to connect to my wifi at work ever since i got my N7 and JB on my GN phone. Since updating to 4.1.2 on my N7 though I can now connect to my WPA wifi at work. FINALLY!

WPA? That should have always just worked. Maybe they fixed some obscure bug there.
802.1x, enterprise wireless, is the problem at question in this thread, but glad that 4.1.2 improved wifi for you anyway

Whoops that's what i meant . It's working now. it's 802.1x with PEAP. Sorry for the confusion.
I had a defective Chromecast that finally got replaced. That old one used to be recognized by my laptop and the mobile devices (iPad, Galaxy Note 2). My new one arrived and I performed the setup from my phone vs. from my laptop. Now, I can only see the Chromecast from my mobile devices and NOT from my laptop. Help is worthless, and Google Support is just about as useless... Has anyone experienced this? The only thing I can think of is that the first time, I set up my Chromecast from my laptop and then it was viewable from all devices. This time, I set it up from my mobile device and now it's only viewable from my mobile devices... Any suggestions?
Hard reset will help and then setup from your laptop

I'll give it a shot and it will likely do the trick, but why should that make any difference? Know what I mean? It's on my network, can be seen by other devices, it shouldn't matter which device set it up as long as it's properly connected to my local network and visible.
I'm having the same problem here.
I live in Austria so no official support right now but anyway...
Chromecast can be set up with Notebook and Android Phone without any problem.
It was always working with Android + google music, youtube and netflix (with dns hack)
It was never working with Notebook and Google Chrome Browser and plugin. Chromecast isn't listed in the Chrome Browser but I can find the device with the windows configuration app. Very strange and clearly a bug and no network problem.
Right now, no support from Google... -_-
PS: hard-reset and reconfigure over notebook is useless. Still not working and I guess and expect it makes no difference to configure over Android or Windows...
PPS: Windows 8.1 was used...
I had the same problem, solved by uninstalling vmware, it does not support virtual networks

I've seen all the problems about Lollipop and Wifi not connecting. However, my problem is different. I connect just fine AND I'm getting 31 ms ping, 60mbps down and 12mbps up. However, my internet browsing is slow, Facebook is slow, you tube is slow. Pretty much anything I need is slow except that my e-mail comes in, although if I need to synch anything, but my inbox (because that's pushed) it's slow as well. Even the speed test takes a while to load up, but when it does these are the results I get. The only solutions I find are about problems not connecting to the internet. Even that being the case I tried those remedies with no luck. Also my wife who just got a Moto X has the same problems. Hmmm both phones are made by Motorola I'm wondering is this is a coincidence. I should say I wasn't having these problems a few weeks ago they just kind of started and my wife had a Moto G that didn't have these problems. This combined with bluetooth issues is making it very hard for me to keep believing in Android as much as I want to. Any thoughts or help on this is greatly appreciated.

maybe the issue is your wifi or router, not the phones. have you tried using a different wifi?

All other devices such as my laptop, roku box and other smartphones don't have these same issues on my wifi. As far as using other wifi' with my smartphone it varies - some are good and some are not. Which makes me think it's having trouble with certain routers or their settings.

I've already tried all the suggestions. However, I can't adjust other routers that I don't have control over. So it's frustrating that it doesn't work better on more routers.
btw, what kind/brand of router are you using? maybe someone is using the same or similar that can give some advice.
I am seeing the exact same thing on a used Nexus 6 that I just picked up. It seems to only happen (so far) on my work's WiFi, although even that just started within the past couple of days. It works fine on the WiFi at home.
Since I purchased the N6 to use with Project Fi which relies heavily on WiFi, this is putting a serious damper on things.
I'm looking for any suggestions or even just confirmation that me and jdekoven aren't the only ones.
I have the same problem with my Nexus 6, Nexus 4 and Nexus 10, all on either 5.1 or 5.1.1. It happens on my home Comcast X1 router/cable modem. It is not a problem with my Chromebook or Windows 7 PC.
It is not a problem at my office which has an Asus router and Cox cable modem.
This problem appeared recently, definately since 5.0, but maybe more recently (especially the Nexus 6, which I have only noticed the problem for a week or 2), and is only a problem for me on my home Comcast network.
I've had this same issue for a few days now. Just plugged my Asus router into the Xfinity box and once setup, WiFi is perfect using the other router. I'm assuming its due to background updates in the Xfinity box not playing nice with the phone. Dunno. But swap routers if you can.

Hi community,
Seeking help here. I have never had any issues with regards to VPN connection on my note 9. I have subscription with CyberGhost VPN however I also have free versions of Thunder VPN and X-VPN.
The issue which occurred today that I cannot fix. I am able to connect using both the paid/free VPNs mentioned above, however once connected, my real IP is still transparent.
When I open the 'key lock' android system VPN management popup, I can see that no data is sent or received even though I have surfed web, watched videos etc. I used ipleak.net to confirm the when connected to VPN my IP transparent.
When I restart the device and connect vpn, it works normally i.e. ip not is transparent. But after some time it automatically becomes transparent again. Power saving is never on. I have to restart device again for VPN to work normally again, albeit a short time.
Anyone encountered similar issue and/or have any solution?
I am having the same issue as well, first everything worked fine and suddenly vpn is not working anymore although it says it is connected. I am using Cyberghost as well but tried other software with the same effect (connects normally but no data goes through the vpn connection)
Haven't found a solution up till now, it is very annoying.
Where did you buy your note 9?
Mine is Australian version from Optus. No solution so far. I contacted samsung and they told me to do factory reset.. haven't tried that yet. So annoying!
Hmm ok yes i saw that too as a probable solution when people with older Samsung devices had a problem like this but factory reset i only want to do as a last resort because it's going to be a haggle to set everything right again. If i do it and it works i will reply again.
My one was bought in Thailand by the way and model number is SM-N960F/DS
Same model as yours except not DS. It seems to be a software issue. Don't know what has triggered this. It was working just fine.
It must have been triggered by the latest software update because my nephew in the Netherlands has the same issue when he tried to use the vpn just now. It worked after rebooting the phone and then his connection dropped after 10 minutes and now his vpn connection isn't working anymore.
So three Note 9 phones all bought in a different country and region have the same issue, weird that this problem hasn't come up on forums more unless the cyberghost app broke our vpn capabilities..
Oh ok that is interesting. I tried other free vpns also with same result. But I was using cyberghost before this problem...
I really don't want to do factory reset.
Same issue in Canada
I am in Canada and I'm having the same issue. What I have found, is it if I download a DNS changer, and I change the DNS, once in awhile it starts working again. But this is completely unreliable.
This seems to have been an issue for a while and for a business marketed phone, it's quite perplexing that Samsung/Google have not dealt with this issue yet.
I got a temporary solution from cyberghost. It's requires setting up L2TP vpn connection. It's not as fast but it does the trick for now. I noticed from my searches this has been an issue since Samsung S8...hopeless!
Is this a Samsung problem or an Android problem? Samsung is telling me to send my Note 9 in for repair bit I am not convinced there is anything they can do. I have tried a factory reset but it was of no help.
I guess deleting all VPN profiles from device but very one will do a thing
Did the latest samsung update but still doesn't work. Any solutions?
The only solution that worked for me is to set up vpn manually.
Add a new device at Cyberghost account management and manually enter the pre-shared key, username and password given and choose ipsec protocol and on your device choose L2TP/IPSEC PSK.
Then you have to connect to the VPN there instead of the Cyberghost App and you will have full vpn functionality although slower than the app which is using OpenVPN or Ikev2 protocol but it's better then nothing.
I use OpenVPN for Android and under Advanced you need to set 'Use VPN for All apps except' and set route all traffic over VPN.
This did change somewhere in Oreo, it didn't used to be like this.
betternet vpn works a treat. no issues with transparency 48hrs after reboot.
PIA works without issues.
